As i can see around, thanks to the Internet, the huge majority of Press reviews are really positive reviews. And the rest reviewers? The generality of them arrive (even ... half- heartadly) at final conclusions like "it was a good show", "decent", etc, despite their various reproofs witch are sometimes inconceivable, judging from what my own ears tell to me.

Thrylan, "Some Girls" was the 14th and 'Tattoo You" the 16th band's album. So, the Stones had stuff enough to play much more than 33 and 37 different songs totally on 1978 and 1981 tour respectively, IF they wanted to. But they NEVER in their career kept a line of doing several changes in the setlists during the same tour. That's what a tried to say.

Sincityboy, your post is really touching. But don't be gloomy. Maybe it was the last time for you, but the Stones will be "rolling" forever in our blood, in our mind, in our soul, for sure.

It's funny the fact that many fans here do demand more variety on the set list, but at the same time they are idolizing the "lists policy" from the 70s, when the Stones were playing only 33 different songs on an entire tour (1978) or even fewer... Today, thanks to You Tube, anyone can "attend" every gig. So, many fans are feeling "tired" from the lists, even

"Thats how they manage it, with the objective to be able to whine and complain no matter what The Stones do. If they dont have guests they whine it is the same old show, if the ydo have guest they whine it distracts from the same old show." Exactly, Max's Kansas City!

On ABB tour the Stones have been criticised because the didn't perform some more songs from the new album. And now some fans want the Stones to drop one of the two new songs...

Thanks "Georgelicks". So by the measures of 2012, "Grrr" (which, as we know, came out at the end of the 2012) would be one of the 25 year's best selling albums! And we are talking abouta a 3 cd set, that had been "taunted" by many fans ("usulless compilation", "who the hell need it", etc)... I think the particular level of "Grrr!"

"Grrr!" has sold very well worldwide, given the factors Thrylan mentioned. “Grrr!” stayed for 12 weeks on World Top 40 (“Mediatraffic”) , having sold 1,189,000 copies. I don’t know what happens since 13th week, as i’ m not… Georgelicks. I mean, my only source was “Mediatraffic”.

"Can't imagine Stones doing several shows in Brazil - not at all in stadiums, ticket prices too high" Mtaylor, i think everywhere the Stones do gigs in stadiums or huge parks (Europe included), the prices will be for sure much lower than the level of the current northamerican arena tour.

I think the song it's OK as opener. And it sounds clearly better compared to the ABB versions.
